Anything wrong with Caol Ila I don't know about?Speyside malts are aiight, but it's hardly a waste.
If you were drinking Caol Ila, of course, I'd be mildly shocked.
And rotten luck with the bike, too. I guess this is the kind of shit that one has put up with when the market forces one into riding a 20-year-old machine to get reasonable performance on a restricted licence.
I'm still on my learners btw - another 3 months to go for restricted.
I very much hope so!
No can do - still on learners...
I was thinking more like the Boondocks (the saints) - I always liked the bartender with tourrettes.
Of course it has been trashed - but they are built to be revved high. As long as you do the maintenance they should be good as gold.
The bike has got ~24,000 kms on the clock now and I've had it since 18,500. What happened is most likely that the camchain skipped a tooth because the mechanic botched the job... And it was to avoid exactly that event was that I sent it in for a fairly expensive repair job!
That sucks mate - you've had your run of mishaps I must say. Hope the bike was ok with riding on a flat tyre.
I know my limits - there's no fucking way I'm going to work the internals of a performance engine... I've neither got the tools, facilities, knowledge nor experience to go there.Tough shit, grow some balls and do it yourself next time

Dammit mik, should have just waited for Duane! Well you are lucky, how would you feel if you had to push MY bike home? I had to do that once when I first got it. Fuck that sucked - had to wait for it to quiet down and no cars on the road and PUSH!
Get a 2nd opinion on whats fucked on the bike, if its anything to do with the repairs from those first people then bust their nuts. Busts them, squeeze them. If you aint signed nothing saying repairs are done at your risk, then it's their job to do it properly and not having it fuck the rest of your bike! Even if you signed something there are laws that services are rendered within reasonable quality.

I'll talk to them tomorrow. If they aren't cooperative I'll tell them that they get to look the bike over.
If they find that their repairs didn't not in anyway have anything to do with what happened I'll hear what they have to say and if I smeel bogus I'll let them know I'll have it checked out at 1-3 other places and get their professional opinion. If they find that the incident of today can be in anyway connected with the camchain and camchain tensioner then they can expect a lawsuit.
But let's see, I'll expect them to be rather apolegetic and cooperative when I talk to them tomorrow. I have a feeling that they did all the work as they were supposed to but forgot one small but crucial detail - namely to engage the tensioner after having replaced the parts. But I won't check it until I've got them, the bike and a couple of witnesses in the same place.

Yeah, I can only imagine. I found the ZXR quite heavy to push up-hill just the little bit I had to. Fortunately our drive way slopes down so after we had gotten it off the towtruck I could enjoy a gravity propelled ride to the garage

You think a ZXR250's a pain to push up a hill, you should try pushing a K1200RS sometime.
Oh, and I wasn't bagging Caol Ila. Quite the contrary, inasmuch as I would consider it a waste to down it simply for 'medicinal' purposes during times of trial...

Hey mate that sucks big time, There is something called the consumer garuntees act, may i suggest you bring it up when your talking with the mechanic, As far as im aware the mechy will either have to repair the damage done or pay for another mechanic to repair it if it is found that it was his fault.
Never let your enemy see your emotions, for it is the one weapon they will value most.
